Looked it up, and it is attributed to a James Taylor.

However, according to this post:

My good friend and author, Bob Peavey, wrote me a note after he read this. His note is below:

Great story except the 1st Mar Div never landed on Tarawa or Saipan, those were taken by my Dad's 2nd Mar Div. Makes one wonder how true the story was. Hmmmmm?

Sure enough:

So happy that I married a two time viet nam vet Marine....we have met some mighty fine people riding our cycles across the country....

America should be very proud, don’t look at Washington D.C. to see how great we are, look in each and every state of the union, you’ll find us....

Nice story, but it’s the Medal of Honor - not the Congressional MOH.

It was my distinct pleasure to have Joe Foss as a guest in my home for dinner a number of years back.

The most humblest man I ever met. He told us stories of his service, and how much luck he had and the memories of his buddies. At the end of all of it he said, "I guess God wasn't done with me yet."
